JH Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 We're not a Championship/relegation fighting team anymore. Just like the season ticket prices have gone up, this goes up too. No doubt sponsorship prices will go up too. It's just what happens. They were probably paying 60k four/five years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think the price increase is down to the club finally getting savvy regarding how much money's worth to the radio station live broadcasting is, a hell of a lot more than to the club. Again I don't have the exact figures but BBC Radio Newcastle on a match day get over 200K listeners IIRC so I imagine Real Radio get a good figure too. I know I flit in between the two just to get a different perspective, although I prefer Real because of Lockwood's commentary. My mate's company spends over 20K a year on advertising with Real Radio and his is just one of thousands I imagine. I think in the past under FS and co the club were kind of soft to all the media in regards to broadcasting such as print, radio and TV, probably in favour of a better press. Under Ashley and co however there seems to be a more professional B2B approach which is how it should be in my opinion. If I were running Real Radio I'd pay double what the club are asking to broadcast the games because of the viewing figures, advertising revenue and phone in money, and of course the kudos. Whoever said no to the current price should be sacked. Man Utd's radio coverage with XFM cost over 200K I think so 60K is a great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 £60k is feck all in the grande scheme of things, what a daft decision. Should have offered £30k plus £30ks worth of radio advertising for the club, loads of ways round it. Daft daft decision from the radio station Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 doesnt suprise me with ashley in charge. Still, Lockwood is shite, the amount of times he has shouted "GOAL!!!" only to follow it up with either "Oh no, its cleared off the line" or "no, its offside" and that cunt McDonald... Prefer Radio Newc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer Radio Newc. Aye, because Radio Newcastle prevent those disallowed goals? When you watch it on tv, its fucked obvious its offside, and dont know why the fuck he shouts it when its cleared off the line. Remember him shouting it a couple of times when Shola has knocked one wide, FFS you'd think he would know by now to wait until Shola's shot hits the back of the net. Basically just shite. EDIT: I will add to that the fact that Moncur is sat next to him constantly correcting him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I would listen to Lockwood over Mick Lowes any day. Shame Real Radio were so shortsighted. Hilarious that they binned the Mackem coverage too though! Mackems are going to have to listen to BBC Newcastle to hear their games, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
